Features
--------

- Written in uncomplicated Python
- Easy to `install <https://github.com/karan/joe#installation>`__
- Stupidly `easy to use <https://github.com/karan/joe#usage>`__
- Supports all Github-supported ```.gitignore``
files <https://github.com/karan/joe#list-all-available-files>`__
- Works on Mac, Linux and Windows
- Supports other version control systems (``.hgignore``)

Installation
------------

Option 1: Homebrew
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ brew update
$ brew tap karan/karan
$ brew install gitignore

Option 2: `Pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/joe>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ pip install joe

Option 3: From source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:karan/joe.git
$ cd joe/
$ python setup.py install

Usage
-----

After install, make sure to run ``joe update``. This will download all
``.gitignore`` files in ``~/joe-data/`` folder.

Basic usage
~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ joe java # outputs .gitignore file for java to stdout

To update your ``.gitignore`` files at any time, simply run:

.. code:: bash

$ joe update

Overwrite existing ``.gitignore`` file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ joe java > .gitignore # saves a new .gitignore file for java

Append to existing ``.gitignore`` file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ joe java >> .gitignore # appends to an existing .gitignore file

Multiple languages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ joe java node osx > .gitignore # saves a new .gitignore file for multiple languages

Create and append to a global .gitignore file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also use joe to append to a global .gitignore. These can be
helpful when you want to ignore files generated by an IDE, OS, or
otherwise.

.. code:: bash

$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore # Optional if you have not yet created a global .gitignore
$ joe OSX SublimeText >> ~/.gitignore

List all available files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

$ joe ls # OR `joe list`
